That night Aerrow and Finn were sitting on one of the beds in the tent with a glass jar in front of them, containing a crystal of Piper's own making which gave off the heat and light of a fire.
"I've always liked these crystals Piper makes" Finn said as he and Aerrow looked towards the tent's entrance where they could just see Piper sitting outside on watch. "How long do you think she'll be mad at me?" He asked Aerrow, who shrugged.
"I think you got off lightly with her but, just keep talking about that little ball of light touching your heart and, she'll come round" He replied.
"It's true, every word" Fin said, chuckling a little. " This is going to sound crazy, but I think that's why Dumbledore left it to me, the deluminator, I think he knew that I'd need it to find my way back and it would lead me" He theorised. Aerrow could only shrug, thinking that it would have made sense but that it would have been impossible to have known the Finn would leave. It was then the Piper walked back into the tent.
"We need to talk" She told Aerrow, Finn and Ace, Stork and Junko, who'd been sitting at the other side of the tent.
"Yeh aright" Finn quickly agreed, wanting to stay in Piper's good books, as they all gathered round.
"I think we should go and see Spencer" She told them.
"Spencer, what for?" Ace asked as Piper opened Skeeter's book about Dumbledore and showed them a page containing a printed copy of a letter.
"See this, it's a letter Dumbledore wrote to Grindelwald" She told them, pointing out the triangle symbol that seemed to be following them which was written next to Dumbledore's name. "It's that mark again, it keeps cropping up, in Beedle The Bard, at Griffindor's Hollow" Piper added.
"It was outside the shop I saw too" Aerrow said, remembering Cyclonis's vision.
"But what does it mean?" Finn asked.
"Look we have no idea where the next horcruex is, but this, this means something and I don't think Spencer would have worn this symbol without knowing what it means" Piper told them.
"Yeh, Piper's right, we ought to see Spencer, lets vote on it, those in favour" Finn said as he stood besides Piper and raised his hand. Everyone just stood for a moment staring at him before Piper then sighed and walked back out of the tent leaving Finn to lower his hand and for the others to shrug.
Using the transportation crystal the Storm Hawks soon arrived on Terra Greenfield. Spencer, an old friend of Ace's who was an archaeologist and who's daughter they'd saved from the mysterious Unknown a few years ago, lived in an regal looking mansion built on top of a hill which overlooked the town below. Ensuring they avoided the town, the Storm Hawks began to climb the hill.
"Your not still mad at him?" Aerrow asked Piper in a whisper, indicating Finn who was just walking ahead and out of earshot, as they walked up.
"I'm always mad at him" She replied as they neared the mansion.
Reaching the front doors Aerrow nervously knocked. After a few moments they heard the sound of a few bolts opening before the door opened a little. It wasn't Spencer at the door but rather the man who looked after his house and Molly when he was away.
"What do want?" The man asked almost hostile.
"We need to see Spencer" Aerrow replied, growing worried at the man's fearful behaviour.
"I'm afraid he's not available" The housekeeper said as he tried to shut the door.
"Tell him the Storm Hawks are here to see him" Aerrow told the man, putting his foot between the door and it's frame and stopping it from closing. The housekeeper seemed defeated and almost reluctantly let them in.
Leading them to a lounge just off the entrance hall, the housekeeper cleared his throat to announce them to Spencer, who was sitting in an armchair reading the newspaper. As Spencer looked up and saw them, his face turning pale as he recognised them, Aerrow noticed that he'd never looked so worn and ill looking, as if something had been constantly worrying him.
"What are you doing here?" He said, sounding very fearful, as the housekeeper left the room.
"Spencer we need your help" Ace said, looking worried at the state of his friend's condition.
Soon they were all sat around the room as Spencer looked at them all nervously.
"Where's Molly?" Piper asked after Spencer's daughter, trying to break the awkward silence.
"She's in the town with some friends, she'll be back soon" Spencer replied quietly. "So what can I help you with?" He asked them all a little reluctantly.
"Well, it's about your tie pin at the wedding, the symbol?" Aerrow asked, noticing Spencer was wearing it again on his jacket.
"You mean this?" Spencer asked, pointing to the triangular symbol with the circle and the line running through it.
"Yeh, what we wondered was what is it?" Aerrow asked.
"What is it, why it's the sign of the Deathly Hallows of course" Spencer answered.
"The what?" All of the Storm Hawks asked simultaneously.
"The Deathly Hallows, I assume your all familiar with the Tale of the Three Brothers?" Spencer inquired.
"Yes" Piper, Finn, Aerrow and Ace said whilst Junko and Stork said no.
"I have it in here" Piper said as she produced the Tales of Beedle The Bard, which contained the story unknown to Wallops and Merbs as they had their own stories. Opening the book to the start of the tale she began to read it aloud.
